[1] Nakamura Aoi entered the entertainment industry when he won the Grand Prix at the final round of the 18th Junon Superboy Contest held in November 2005.
[3][4] Nakamura himself was initially unenthusiastic about the contest as he disliked having to leave Fukuoka for Tokyo, and felt more apprehension than happiness when he won.
At the end of March 2007, in order to start his entertainment activities seriously, he left his hometown of Fukuoka alone and moved to Tokyo.
[7] He also made his first movie appearance in the film "Koizora" which started showing in theatres November the same year.
In July, he played a semi-leading role in "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e 2011", a remake of popular drama serial.
